"Michael Posner is not a person who wishes to bask in tributes. Although he might (and did) tolerate tributes during two spring days of celebration, his longstanding goals have always been about science and not about him as a person. He would wish a conference not to focus on the past but rather to push the advance of cognitive science to new depths and into new directions. With this in mind, he himself requested a hand in setting the theme of the conference, a theme reflected in these resulting proceedings and titled Developing Individuality of the Human Brain: A Tribute to Mike Posner. The theme of these chapters grew from a line of investigation, a rather straight line in retrospect, that stretches from the mid-1960s up to the present. In chapter 12 that Posner himself has prepared for this volume, he elegantly describes this trajectory from his perspective." (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved)
